Seein' Stars

By Feg Murray, *Seein' Stars* combined Hollywood gossip with visual comedy typical of newspaper Sunday strips. The page features a large illustrated figure of Katharine Hepburn, surrounded by smaller panels with anecdotes about studio life and celebrity mishaps—Jean Piersholt's portrait painting, Paul Whiteman's golf accident, Spencer Tracy's polo hobby, and George O'Brien's shark encounter. Speech balloons and sequential panels move the reader from celebrity to celebrity, a format inherited from earlier strips like *The Katzenjammer Kids* and *Gasoline Alley*. Murray's ink work—crisp figures, strong shadows, fine linework—exemplifies the commercial illustration style that defined the Sunday comics as popular entertainment and precursor to the comic book medium.
